On March 19, a small group of dancers headed to Vincennes to perform at The Fortnightly at the Knox County Public Library. Travels from Indianapolis were uneventful, and after enjoying a nice dinner together, we found The Fortnightly and began prepping for the show.
We never quite know what to expect when we arrive at a venue, and this was no exception. Based on the stage, we had to make some quick changes to entrances and exits and just barely had enough time to walk through everything before the evenings activities began with live musicians. Then it was a quick change, warm-up, and time for the show to begin.
This performance gave us a chance to initiate our newest member, Rebecca, into Celtic Motion. She did a fabulous job in her first official performance with the group (especially with the last-minute changes). Way to go, Rebecca, and welcome to the group!
As part of our show, we took some time to break down two basic Irish steps called skip23s and side steps. Then we taught a small group of brave souls a fun, easy ceili dance. Everyone had a grand time, and after everyone took their seats again, we finished out our portion of the show with four more dances. Then it was time to pile back in the cars and head back home. We all agreed that it was an excellent show with an excellent audienc,e and we had a fabulous time dancing for them on the beautiful wood stage.
